Ukraine-Türkiye free trade agreement takes effect
The Free Trade Agreement between the Government of Ukraine and the Government of the Republic of Türkiye, which provides for exemption from duties or the application of reduced rates, entered into force on October 1, the State Customs Service (SCS) said on its Telegram channel.
On October 1, the Free Trade Agreement between Ukraine and Türkiye came into effect, according to the State Customs Service (SCS). Signed in Kyiv on February 3, 2022, and ratified by a Ukrainian law on July 14, 2026, the agreement provides for duty exemptions or reduced rates. The SCS highlighted that tariff preferences will apply at different times depending on the direction of trade: for Ukrainian exports to Türkiye from October 1, 2026, and for imports of Turkish goods into Ukraine from January 1, 2027.
For Ukrainian exports, tariff preference codes 429, cancellation of export duty, and 430, export tariff quota, will be applicable starting October 1, 2026. Similarly, for imports of Turkish origin products, codes 429 and 430 will be effective from January 1, 2027. The SCS emphasized the importance of confirming the origin of goods for preferential treatment, which can be verified through a EUR.1 movement certificate or a declaration of origin.
Relevant document codes include 0954 for EUR.1 movement certificates, 7012 for declarations of origin by approved exporters, and 7016 for declarations of origin on shipments valued at up to EUR 6,000.
Following the parliament's ratification in July, Economy Minister Oleksiy Sobolev noted that the agreement grants full liberalization for 84% of Ukrainian product groups and tariff quotas for 6% of product groups, with zero or reduced duty rates up to the quota limit.
